From Guymri to Dilijan

Today is Sunday, good opportunity to attend Mass, in the Odzun basilica.

The countryside is very different from what we've seen until now, with forests and rivers.
In the afternoon, we reach Haghpat and its awesome monastery. It is one of the most stunning places I've ever seen, could spend hours there, looking for every single detail carved in the stone.

 
Goshavank was erected in the place of an older monastery, which had been destroyed by an earthquake in 1188.
Mkhitar Gosh, a statesman, scientist and author of numerous fables and parables as well as the first criminal code, took part in the rebuilding of the monastery.

 

 

Tonight we stay in Dilijan, a spa town in the middle of a national park. And the temperature is just perfect for me :)
And the local wine is pretty good!
